[v2] test: Have test_fs work with non-functional guestmount tools

Since 2011 Ubuntu has intentionally broken support for guestmount[1] by
default and requires sysadmin intervention to re-enable support.  This
in turn exposed that in our tests if guestmount is available but fails
we do not fall back to trying to use sudo.  Restructure our code to try
sudo if guestmount fails rather than only when it is not in our path.
Further, only note that we are using fuse on success of the call.

Changes in v2:
- Rework to not have another try/except nesting as Stephen suggested.
  Tested this out and we still skip the tests and now note that sudo
  doesn't work.  Since the README for tests says sudo or guestmount, I
  think this is OK.

This, I suspect, will also fix the cases where in CI we attempt to run
the FS tests but do not as guestmount fails.  I'm not going to remove
guestmount from the Docker containers as it's a useful reference for
"what is required for a minimal environment for U-Boot builds" and
perhaps we will switch to Debian instead at some point.
